Provenance: Descended in the family of noted Mississippi art collector Bitsy Irby. Note: A native of Jackson, MS, William Hollingsworth returned home in 1934 after six years of art studies. Hollingsworth is known for his watercolors of the countryside 69 near Jackson, of which “The Country Road” is a prime example. Two African American figures walk down a road running at a diagonal across the composition, leading to several sharecropper cabins in the distance. In 1937 Hollingsworth earned national attention when a study of black culture won him the William Tuthill Prize at an international watercolor show at the Art Institute of Chicago. Unfortunately, his artistic output was limited to a mere ten years, as the artist took his life in the summer of 1944. His work is quite rare, especially highly accomplished compositions such as “The Country Road”.

71. Alexander John Drysdale (American/ New Orleans, 1870-1934), “Dawn Along the Bayou”, 1909, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, 18 in. x 30 in., in a giltwood frame. $15000/25000 Note: From 1903 to 1920 Alexander John Drysdale maintained a studio at 504 Magazine St., New Orleans. Often seen sketching and painting in City Park, Drysdale specialized in the depiction of the atmospheric Louisiana landscape. While much of his work fits several compositional formulas, he sometimes painted other scenes such as the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Tunica Hills along the Mississippi, and the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. The landscape offered here depicts the tall pine trees found on the north shore and seems to show the edge of the lake or a tributary meeting the lake. The sky is luminous against the dark, but accurately depicted, lush vegetation. The fence line on the left side of the composition intimates the edge of a pasture. This highly refined and developed work is rare within the artist’s vast output. Interestingly, it is painted in 1909, the same year Drysdale won the gold medal for best oil painting from the Art Association of New Orleans. W 72. Charles Stanley Reinhart (American,

1844-1896), “Union Soldier”, gouache on paper, monogrammed lower right, 11 3/4 in. x 6 3/4 in., framed.

Note: The gentleman depicted in this portrait may be Adolphe Tanneret, the half brother of Antoinette Decuir (1826-1896), whose portrait was sold in these rooms as lot 444, May 22, 2010 and the son of Louise Suzanne Antoinette de Beauvais (1791-1872), whose portrait hangs at Parlange Plantation.

75. Joseph Rusling Meeker (American/Louisiana, 1827-1889), “Great Horned Owl and Fledgling at Dusk”, 1882, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, 21 in. x 17 3/4 in., later frame. $12000/18000 Note: Joseph Rusling Meeker is famed for his atmospheric views of Louisiana’s swamps and bayous. On a few rare occasions in his work, he has placed a large exquisitely rendered bird, such as an eagle or an egret, prominently in the composition. In the work offered here, a great horned owl and its fledgling stare intently at the viewer in the right foreground while the sun sets in the distance over a bayou landscape. The great horned owl is believed to be a symbol of divine wisdom by the Creek Indians. A very fierce bird, the great horned owl will vigorously defend its nest and territory, and has the reputation of being the only owl that has ever killed a man. During this period of westward expansion in the United States, these attributes and themes would have resonated within American politics and society.

Lemann), 1929; Thence to her son, Arthur A. “Bubs” Lemann, Jr. 1929; Thence by descent in the Lemann family. “According to family accounts, when Marie Adrien Persac was in the Donaldsonville area in the mid 1850s to conduct his cartographic research for the Norman’s Chart, he stayed for many months as a guest of Pierre Oscar Ayraud. To show his gratitude, Persac painted the watercolor (gouache) of the Palo Alto residence for Ayraud and also presented him with an original edition of the completed map as a further token of his appreciation. Later, right after the Civil War, Jacob Lemann foreclosed on the Palo Alto plantation and residence. Needless to say, the painting and map were removed from the property by the departing and distressed Ayraud family. Then, in 1914, Jacob’s grandson, Arthur Abraham Lemann, married Pierre Oscar’s granddaughter, Mary Lee Landry. Thus Persac’s painting and map were reunited with the Palo Alto home through the intermarriage of the Lemann and Ayraud families...” Neal Auction Company would like to thank the family patriarch for sharing this history. The Persac gouache, “Palo Alto Plantation, Ascension Parish”, sold in these rooms November 20, 2010. Note: The publisher had planned to make a series of three maps showing plantations from New Orleans to Memphis, but this was the only one completed.

Nystrom & Co., US Agents, Chicago]/ Geographers, Engravers/ and Printers/ Edinburgh & London”, the 30-inch sphere with hour dial, nickel plated meridian with degree marks, set on roller bearings, within a full rotating mount, the paper horizon band with months and zodiac, the Arts and Crafts style quarter-sawn oak base on molded feet, full height 54 in., full diameter 37 in.

Note: William (1802-1888) and Alexander Keith (18041871) Johnston began as apprentices to the Scottish globe maker and publisher James Kirkwood before his workshop suffered a fire. Setting up their own workshop, they became one of the most successful globe makers in the world. Their largest globe, seen in this lot, made for institutions or the most prestigious of private libraries, won a number of medals in the Great Exhibition. As was common in the day, the cartouche bears a small overlay label over the Johnston name from the Chicago globe retailer A.J. Nystrom, who was one of several Chicago retailers who imported Johnston’s globes. Interestingly, the gores for this globe bear the watermark “J. Whatman/ 1914”. Whatman, of course, being the paper used for Audubon’s Birds of America.

These are the originals on 12 October 1820, when he for Robert Havell’s plates 145, the departed from Cincinnati via a “Palm Warbler on Sneezeweed” flatboat down the Ohio and (Yellow Red-poll Warbler) drawn at Mississippi Rivers; he eventually (two Bayou Lafourche on 1-3 January 1821, and a half months later) arrived at and also one of the prototypes for New Orleans in the first week of Havell’s plate 187 (Bien # 220), the January 1821.

Others of Havell’s eventual prints for Audubon and Mason. Birds of America probably also attest to this collaboration Joseph Mason was a crack shot, and in fact killed very many between the young Mason and Audubon (who at this point of the birds eventually portrayed in the nearly 100 drawings was exactly twice his age), before Mason returned to he made with Audubon.

Audubon and J.W. Audubon, backgrounds after Victor Audubon, lithography by J.T.

Note: Called “The largest successful color plate book project of 19th-century America” (Reese), Audubon’s enthusiasm at the start of the project was unbridled. Around 1840 he wrote to his collaborator, the Rev. James Bachman, “I am

growing old, but what of this? My spirits are as enthusiastical as ever, my legs full able to carry my body for ten years to come, and in about two of these I expect the illustrations out, and ere the following twelve months have elapsed, their histories studied, their descriptions carefully prepared and the book printed! Only think of the quadrupeds of America being presented to the World of Science by Audubon and Bachman” (Streshinsky, Audubon, p. 331). The artist managed to complete seventy-seven drawings before failing health kept him from his work. The remainder were completed by his younger son, John Woodhouse Audubon. The dauntingly massive enterprise was a commercial success, owing chiefly to Audubon’s elder son Victor’s careful management. Before Audubon’s death in 1851, his sons succeeded in soliciting some three hundred subscriptions for the work. A bright and brilliantly colored set of Audubon’s magnificent final work, The Viviparous Quadrupeds...

Note: This was the first map to accurately describe the vast Mississippi Valley and, as such, was widely copied and referred to for the next fifty years. As the first printed map to name Texas (Mission de los Tiejas, 1716) De Lisle has received proper credit for establishing Texas as a geographic place name. This map was also the first map to name the newly established town of Nouvelle Orleans. Reference: Charting Louisiana, p. 58; Cumming, p. 170; Schwartz and Ehrenberg, p. 146.

*196. Jacques Tanesse (New Orleans), “Plan of the City and Suburbs of New Orleans from an Actual Survey made in 1815 by J. Tanesse, City Surveyor”, 1825, engraving, drawn by Jacques Tanesse, engraved by William Rollinson, published by Charles del Vecchio, N.Y., and Pierre Maspero, New Orleans, sheet 20 1/2 in. x 31 in., attractively float-mounted and framed. $15000/25000 Note: This detailed engraving far surpasses any other printed view or map of New Orleans. Made by the surveyor Jacques Tanesse, the plan is an aerial projection from a height distant enough to give a good idea of the city’s crescent shape. John Reps, Cornell University professor emeritus and cartographic scholar, calls Tanesse’s work “one of the finest examples of 19th-century American urban cartography.” By August 1817, the map was available in New Orleans when Tanesse presented two copies to the city, one for the mayor’s office, the other for the council chamber. The city’s various states of progress in the expansion are superbly charted in the plan’s neat grid layout, which is accentuated by large open places given over to public plazas and buildings. Tanesse also includes the breastworks that proved to be very decisive in America’s defeat of the British during the famous Battle of New Orleans in January of 1815. This interesting detail is shown perpendicular to the Mississippi River at the

lower right-hand corner of the city plan. Twelve symmetrically placed border insets show the city’s most important buildings, and all are drawn in elevation, with an occasional attempt at perspective. Although simply executed, they represent the French, Spanish, and American periods of New Orleans history. In the title cartouche, an exotic American Indian family of unknown tribe poses near a lion skin. Jacques Tanesse’s plan was issued in two states: the first in 1817 and the second edition in 1825. This example, from the 1825 issue, celebrates the visit of General Lafayette to New Orleans, where he makes notable changes that took place to the city in the intervening eight years. Tanesse engraves the sixty-foot triumphal arch which was built in wood and canvas and erected at the Place d’Armes for the occasion of the General’s arrival. This he sets at the bottom of the map on land across the river, which misleadingly suggests that it stood there. The arch was designed by city architect Joseph Pilié and painted to resemble marble by Jean Baptiste Fogliardi, the scene painter for the Théâtre d’Orléans. Another significant alteration is Tanesse’s addition of a tower to the cathedral. The original rectangular format was adapted with the clever device of a lunette breaking the top of the border to accommodate the height of the new spire.

Note: This historically important manuscript map shows the origins of the state of Texas at the turn of the 19th century. The map asserts, in bold colors, the borders claimed by Spain between its provinces of Texas and West Florida, and the territories of the United States, including the province of Louisiana newly conveyed by Napoleon over Spanish objections. The valuable lands within what would become Texas are shown extending westward, highlighted by the principal river systems between the Sabine and San Antonio, probably drafted by a surveyor with the Casa-Calvo expedition of 1805, and possibly supervised by celebrated cartographer Nicholas de Finiels. The map focuses on an area of extreme Spanish interest when it was becoming impossible for that once great power to maintain its grip in North America in the face of increasing hegemony of the young United States.

$4000/6000 Note: These are the earliest printed images of Florida and its native peoples. Based on Le Moyne’s sketches, De Bry’s engravings, completed in Frankfurt in 1591, convey a strong sense of the mystery and exoticism that characterized early European notions about the New World and its native “savages.” These images are still arresting and strange to the modern viewer, and one can only imagine the impact of these scenes in the 16th century.

208. An American Aesthetic Carved Cherrywood and Walnut Sideboard, late 19th c., attributed to Herter Bros., dentillated cornice above carved and glazed doors, raised panel back, vasiform supports; three dentil molded drawers above three carved paneled doors, conforming molded base, height 86 in., width 77 in., depth 25 in.

$7000/10000 Note: The present lot relates closely to the small group of highly carved sofas and chairs commonly referred to as “Cornucopia”. The use of oak as primary wood as seen here is a rare occurrence within Belter’s oeuvre. Rosewood and mahogany were more often employed.

$3000/5000 Note: Several elements on this cabinet relate to those from other known Herter examples from 1875-1885. The lozenge escutcheon on the lower cabinet, “Herter Bro’s” incised stamp and three digit inscription on the back relate closely to those on a cherry, maple, walnut and satinwood cabinet at the Art Institute of Chicago (1986.26).

It should be noted that there are several references to the usage of oak in the early definitive Belter text, Schwartz, Marvin et al. The Furniture of John Henry Belter and the Rococo Revival, pp. 1, 5, and 20.

Reference: Howe, et. al. Herter Brothers, Furniture and Interiors for a Gilded Age, p. 192, fig. 32.

Interestingly, the consistent employment of oak leaves, acorns, and oak flowers in almost every form of Belter furniture appears quintessential in this finely carved example. 209

A Rare American Carved and Laminated Oak Armchair, c. 1850-1860, attributed to John Henry Belter, in a variant of the pattern known as “Cornucopia”, the carved and reticulated cartouche-form back with elaborate scrolls, roses, fruit, and cornucopiae, all within the distinctively gadrooned outer frame, floral-carved knees and seat rail on cabriole legs, casters.

An American Gothic Carved Walnut Serving Table, mid-19th c., Baltimore, rectangular top, drawer and return frieze paneled with blind quatrefoils, faceted and fluted legs with vasiform terminals, lower shelf with shaped profile, gallery back, “turnip” feet, height 29 in., width 36 in., depth 18 in. $1000/1500 Note: Gothic ornament, as seen on the table here, was favored by Baltimore cabinet makers for the mixing table form. This example eschews a case for robust faceted, fluted and turned supports in the manner of Hugh Finlay or William Camp.

211. A Very Fine American Renaissance Carved Oak Cabinet, mid-19th c., attributed to Alexander Roux, New York, crest with crocketed finials centered by a bust of George Washington, the frieze with scrolling leaves, chamfered sides with hunting figures, arched glazed doors; the base with two medial drawers, four doors with fine carved panels of fish, pendant fruit and nut stiles, blocked molded base, height 100 in., width 68 1/2 in., depth 24 in. $7000/10000 Note: Many elements on this cabinet relate to known examples by Alexander Roux. The high relief fish panels with a variety of eels, a turtle, crab, and other creatures are very similar to those on a walnut sideboard by Roux at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. 1993.168), and those on the crest of a server at the Brooklyn Museum of Art (acc. 1995.15). The hunters on the stiles of the upper case compliment the game and fish motif on the lower case and adhere to Northern French Renaissance Revival traditions for dining furniture. The Founding Father bust at the crest, however, is an American subject likely related to the 1876 Centennial. The carved decoration on this cabinet is similar to that on pair of oak cabinets purchased from Roux by William and Margaret Astor c. 1856 (for Rokeby in Barrytown New York) and bearing his label from his 481 Broadway warerooms. Roux’s work in this period was in a variety of styles to satisfy the increasingly cosmopolitan and diverse tastes of his customers, and items of Renaissance influence, such as this cabinet, most often were items for the dining room. This cabinet displays the use of a brilliant maple interior with rosewood facing that strongly suggests the very best New York cabinetmaking in the middle 19th-century.

Alexander Roux is the most likely New York cabinetmaker to incorporate the bold and finely executed zoomorphic imagery as seen within the design of this banquet table. Reference: Well known Roux examples with full figural carvings include the walnut server by Roux with hound supports at the Brooklyn Museum of Art (acc. 1995.15); a walnut sideboard with a stag head crest at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1993.168), amongst others.

Note: The colorful palette Munger chose for this painting shows the influence of her teacher, Philip Leslie Hale, who worked with Monet at Giverny. The vibrant shades of green and the use of violet paint in the outlines of the cottage and trees clearly portray Munger’s Impressionist style which at times verges on Fauvism. 217.

Provenance: This cabinet has a history of ownership in Charleston, S.C. There is an old pencil inscription “JD Aiken, 1848” underside of lower marble. Also “No.2” old ink script is found on the case and both white marbles. Note: The encoignure form is rare within American Rococo furniture. This example is assuredly New York and is particularly reminiscent of the cabinetry of John Henry Belter. The usage of lightly veined white marble, elegant carving within a clear finely veneered rosewood frieze, distinctive molding and the carved short cabriole legs are certainly in the manner of Belter.

According to John Richardson, son of the Stores’ founder, “...the Army and Navy Store was more than a mere emporium. It was a key cog in the machinery of the Empire...functioned as travel agents, bankers, caterers, undertakers, and insurance brokers, as well as purveyors of the pith helmets, thunder-boxes, plum puddings, and all the other myriad things listed in the Army and Navy’s catalogue.” A nearly identical chair sold in Sotheby’s, New York, Ariane Dandois sale, as lot 84, October 25, 2007.

282. Marino Marini (Italian, 1901-1980), “A Military Camp: By the Washhouse”, c. 1918/1924, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 18 1/4 in. x 23 3/4 in., inscribed (in English) en verso of stretcher “painted when 14 years old”, in a later cove-molded frame. $4000/6000 Note: The very celebrated modern artist Marino Marini was born in the Tuscan town of Pistoia on 27 February 1901, and registered for the classes in painting under Galileo Chini at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence in 1917, at age 16. Notwithstanding the note written in pencil on the back of this stretcher (which clearly, being in English, represents a somewhat later tradition), the very strong likelihood is that Marini would have required at least a certain amount of training from Chini and his other instructors in the basic technique of oil paint - a notoriously difficult medium to handle confidently - before he would have been capable of the superb facility he shows in this painting. Given the subject matter, indeed, there is a significant possibility that the present picture dates rather from his period of military service, which he discharged in 1924, just 5 years after the end of the First World War (when Marini was still only 23). By any index of quality, however, this is a very striking picture, combining brilliant colors astutely choreographed against a brilliantly painted white wall, conceived in a frieze-like alignment of uniformed figures. Its remarkably early date is reinforced by the fact that Marini had not yet settled on his iconic theme of the “Horse and Rider,” which especially after the Second World War, came to represent the work with which he is so closely identified. After a long lifetime heaped with honors, Marini died at Viareggio on 6 August 1980.

John Rathbone (English, 1750-1807), “Madonna and Child”, in the style of Bartolemé Murillo (Spanish, 1618-1682), oil on canvas, signed en verso and with red wax ownership seal, 66 1/4 in. x 47 in., in a period cove-molded, carved, gessoed and floral stenciled giltwood frame. $3000/5000 Note: This fine picture of a life-size Virgin and Child is very definitely in the style of Bartolomé Murillo (Spanish, 1617/181682), and probably represents a specific commission, perhaps from a collector already possessing a painting or paintings by that artist. Murillo’s reputation was at its highest in the late 18th and early 19th century, and he had a particular posthumous vogue in the British Isles: it is thus quite appropriate that a good artist of Rathbone’s generation should have gravitated strongly toward his style. This painting is in a fine original frame, and has not only the artist’s signature but also a red wax ownership seal on the verso of the canvas. The latter features a “quartered” shield of noble arms, but the quarterings have become somewhat blurred with age, and the specific blazon is therefore indistinct. The fashion was, however, to apply such noble ownership seals primarily among royal houses or families of the peerage, which suggests that this fine picture may well have a noble provenance.

Herring”, 19 ½ in. x 23 ½ in., framed. $4500/5500 Note: Although Herring’s pictures are notoriously difficult to distinguish from those of similar subjects by his father, J.F. Herring Sr. (1795-1863) and for that matter also from the related works of his brothers Charles (1828-1856) and Benjamin (1830-1871) - the form of the signature on this painting confirms that the artist is indeed he. The composition is thoroughly typical of his work, with its broader handling than his father and brothers, and its concentration on anecdotal detail. The relatively tight framing is also highly characteristic, as is the emphasis on narrative incident. Once his family “rivals” died out in the 15 years from 1856 to 1871, Herring enjoyed a virtual monopoly of this classic type.

The Gratz sideboard descended in the family until 1973; it was purchased by Andy Warhol and acquired from his estate by Winterthur in 1988. The pair of knife boxes offered here feature tiered acanthus capitals on reeded columns with disc bases varying in the “Egyptian” mode from the Gratz example.

Livingston, Jr. (New York, 1747-1813), who served as minister to Paris under Thomas Jefferson. French style in early 19th c. New York is also addressed in Wendy Cooper’s important text, Classical Taste In America, 18001840.

A Lannuier games table, c. 1810, now in the White House collection (acc. 992.1704.1), has four ring- turned columnar supports in the manner of the arm supports on this lot.

336

Note: Deming and Bulkley wares featured elaborate carving and exotic wood veneers to appeal to a luxury market; the prolific gilding on this work table is also indicative of the Deming and Bulkley firm, whose output often exhibited a well-executed combination of freehand and stencilled applications. Established in New York by cousins Brazilia Deming and Erastus Bulkley, the firm also operated successful warerooms in Charleston, South Carolina, through the 1840s. 335.

Carr traveled South in 1891 to paint life in the rural community of Tallapoosa, Georgia. From his personal experiences, Carr produced a series of Southern genre paintings that earned favorable reviews and accolades when exhibited in New York.

360. Marion Sims Souchon (American/New Orleans, 1870-1954), “The Devil in the Garden”, oil on board, unsigned, artist’s inventory number “529” en verso, 22 in. x 28 in., in an attractive modern frame.

Note: In 1941 a Time Magazine article called Dr. Souchon “New Orleans’ most original artist.” Beginning his painting hobby late in life, he quickly developed a unique style employing bright patches of color and effusive brushwork. The work offered here, “The Devil in the Garden”, is a quintessential example of Souchon’s palette and technique. The devil’s face is bright red against a vivid yellow background while green foliage and red blossoms frame the composition. In the Time article, Dr. Souchon was quoted, “I like my pictures red hot”, a sentiment clearly expressed in this painting.

361. Marie Atkinson Hull (American/Mississippi, 18901980), “Pigeons”, 1954, oil on canvas board, signed lower right, pencil titled and with exhibition label en verso, 29 7/8 in. x 20 in., in a period frame. $15000/25000 Provenance: Descended in the family of noted Mississippi art collector Bitsy Irby, a close friend and patron of Marie Hull. Illustrated: Malcolm Norwood, et.al., The Art of Marie Hull, Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 1975, p. 57. Note: Mississippi artist Marie Hull had a great love of birds from early childhood. Subsequently, they appear as a common theme in her representational paintings. Flamingoes, macaws, crows, and in the case of the work offered here, pigeons, were some of the birds she chose to depict. “Pigeons” is an important transitional work in Hull’s oeuvre, showing her moving from a more traditional realistic style to the abstract modernism which defines her later work. The compositional relationship of color and design seem precedent over her choice of subject matter. 362. Clementine Hunter (American/Louisiana, 1886-1988), “Melrose Plantation”, c. 1960, cotton stitched quilt with brown paper backing, monogrammed lower right, inscribed in ink en verso, 27 1/2 in. x 36 in. $7000/10000 Note: Quilting was Clementine Hunter’s earliest method of expressing her creativity. She created quilt tops and wall-hangings, the most impressive of which depict the buildings and people of Melrose Plantation. As in other documented Hunter textiles, the piece offered here features “The Big House” of Melrose. It is sewn with symmetry and balance of design, hallmarks of Hunter’s quilts. Her large textiles are difficult to find but represent some of her best work.

365. Carroll Cloar (Arkansas/Memphis, 1913-1993), “Two Girls on a Log”, 1989, acrylic on masonite, signed lower left, signed, titled and dated “5-89” en verso, 22 3/4 in. x 33 3/4 in., attractively framed. $12000/18000 Note: Carroll Cloar was born on a cotton farm in Earle, Arkansas, in 1913. His childhood in Arkansas would provide the majority of the inspiration and subject matter for his paintings. Cloar depicted life as he remembered it, with colors based upon his sensory impressions rather than reality. Painted from memory, there is a magical presence to Cloar’s work, which although realistically painted in a pointillist style is quite surreal and dreamlike. His intense color and depiction of flat light suggest a suspension in time. This air of reminiscence is very successful as he captures the rural South during the early part of the 20th century and the Depression years.

366. Crawford Gillis (American/ Alabama, 1914-2000), “Beach Boys Babylon”, 1951, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, 26 x 36 in., in a period frame. $2000/3000 Provenance: From the noted Southern Art collection of Steven Cabot Barnes Harvey (19491993).

Note: Born near Selma, Alabama, Crawford Gillis enrolled at the National Academy of Design in 1935, where he studied with Leon Kroll and Charles Curran. While in New York City, he met Delphic Studios owner Alma Reed, who introduced him to the work of Mexican muralists and the Social Realism Movement, and encouraged him to return to the South to paint the familiar sights of his youth. Over the course of the next few years, Reed exhibited Gillis’ Southern paintings at her Fifth Avenue gallery three times, each to critical acclaim. While in Alabama, Gillis joined the multi-disciplinary group of young artists in Montgomery, known as the New South. In 1939 he was given a one-man show whose content proved to be controversial and was the New South’s closing exhibition. During World War II, Gillis served for four years in the military on the European front, where he earned a Bronze Star Medal. Upon returning home, Gillis resumed painting and exhibiting his work. The alluring “Beach Boys Babylon”, painted in 1951, reflects the influences of both Cubism and Modernism in his work.

407. Jozef Tominic (Austrian/Slovene, 1790-1866), a pair of portraits; “Gentleman Holding a Botanical Specimen” and “The Lady with an Elaborate Coiffure, Bedecked with Jewelry”, c. 1840-1855, each oil on canvas, 31 in. x 24 3/4 in. and 31 1/4 in. x 24 7/8 in. respectively, in matching original carved and giltwood frames. $4000/6000 Note: Born in “Venezia Giulia” or Friuli, Tominc was something of a prodigy, and took his first lessons in Gorizia with an artist named Karel Kebar (1764-1810). In 1803 Tominc went to the Austrian court, and gained the favor of the Archduchess Maria Anne, who sent him to Rome with a warm letter of introduction. There he worked with D. C. Bazzanti (c. 1742-1818) and exhibited at the Accademia di San Luca, where he won a silver medal in 1814; his Roman period is chiefly remarkable for the beauty of his drafting style, which rivaled that of Ingres. After brief sojourns in Naples (1818) and Vienna (1819), he settled in the capital of the former Duchy of Carinthia, Ljubljana, where he painted a remarkable series of portraits in the Biedermeier style. In 1830 he made his final move to Trieste, where he continued his celebrated portrait style for a full 25 years, before returning to his home province, where he died. The present dramatic and arresting images are in his best style, and epitomize his meticulous technique. The Gentleman’s portrait has echoes across his career, from the type of costume to the treatment of hair and jewelery; the most memorable parallel is with his image of another botanist, Ignazio Furlani (c. 1856), in which specimens of fruits and flowers are laid out on a tabletop, much as this blossom is proudly exhibited by the anonymous sitter. Tominc’s Lady is also very firmly tied to his extensive oeuvre by a number of convincing parallels. Her gesture is absolutely precisely replicated in his Duchess Cecilia Auersperg (c. 1820), while her swath of red drapery is mirrored in his Giuseppina Holzknecht (c. 1829-30); her very prominent jewelry finds parallels across his career, especially in the 1840s. Her extravagant coiffure is perhaps most closely matched in the 1850s, with such images as Tominc’s Maria Lazarević (c. 1855). These portraits mark a major discovery, and one which offers a series of insights into Austrian and Italian painting of the Biedermeier and Nazarene periods.

Provenance: Jeschke, Grave & Hauff {Auctioneers}, Berlin, April 13, 2002, lot 2741.

Note: Though born in Paris, Jean-Hugues Taraval spent his first twenty years at the Swedish court in Stockholm with his father Guillaume-Thomas Taraval (1701-1750), his first teacher. He then entered the prominent Paris studio of Jean-Baptiste Pierre (17141789), from which Taraval won the coveted Prix de Rome at age 25. He spent the years 1756-59 at the École des Élèves Protégés in Paris and 1759-63 at the Académie Française in Rome. He was admitted to the Académie Royale in Paris in 1765, was received as a full member in 1769, and was appointed a professor in 1785. He received a half-dozen of Paris’ most prestigious commissions for decorative paintings between 1762 and 1781; he ably combined the individual styles of his master Pierre, François Boucher, and CharlesJoseph Natoire. The present painting of a youthful Venus – identified by the doves on her triumphal chariot – tenderly assisting the infant Eros as he splashes in a tranquil stream, is actually a sensitive allegory, suggesting the young love-god’s requisite “cooling off” as he contemplates further inflammations of the hearts of mortals.

708. William Pearson (American, mid-19th c.), “Landscape with Cattle Beside Water, Meadow”, 1882, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, inscribed “Widener” in white chalk en verso of frame, 20 in. x 30 in., in a good period carved, gessoed, and giltwood frame. $2000/3000 Note: William Pearson was evidently from Malden, MA, and was probably a brother of Robert Pearson (who died there in 1891), with whom he shared lodgings in New York City. He exhibited New Hampshire landscapes at the National Academy of Design there in 1857 and 1859, and at the Boston Art Club (with pictures of Malden) in the years ending in 1882. The present picture (of that same year) is a quintessentially perfect American equivalent - a few decades later - of the famous landscapes of the French “Barbizon School,” named after the district (with its famous Forest) just southeast of Paris, around Fontainebleau.

707

The ownership inscription “Widener” on the reverse of this original frame offers an indirect confirmation of the Barbizon influence. It is well known that before about 1910 Barbizon landscapes formed the principal décor of the various Widener family houses in and around Philadelphia - for example, in the princely townhouse that Willis G. Hale built for them in the 1880s at Broad and Girard Sts., or most especially in the truly spectacular palace that Horace Trumbauer completed in 1900 for Peter A. B. Widener as Lynnewood Hall in the suburb of Elkins Park (a structure of some 110 rooms, of which 55 were said to be bedrooms). For the quality and extent of its European masterworks, the Widener Collection became the true core of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, after it was given in its entirety to the Nation in 1942. The various catalogues of the collection list few American pictures - apart from obligatory ones by Inness, Whistler, and Cassatt - so this painting of Pearson’s may not have hung at “the American Versailles,” but at another residence of this preeminent family of collectors and philanthropists.

He spent 1881-1887 in Paris, his first years were at the prestigious Académies Julian and Colarossi. After sojourns in Boston and Charleston he settled around 1901 in New York, but made frequent trips both to Paris and to the South, where he specialized in coastal scenes and ships. Though he also painted on Cape Cod and in Santa Barbara, it was as an essentially Southern painter that he was principally known. Henry Clements exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Chicago Art Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Salmagundi Club; he was a member of the Boston and New York watercolor clubs, and was later active in the Santa Barbara Art Association. He died in Oberlin, LA, in 1935. This fine and characteristic watercolor was very probably painted in Paris in c. 1881-1884, and may actually incorporate a self-portrait as the principal music-making figure. Its careful composition and lively sense of color show the artist at his youthful best.

Note: William Frye, the German-born artist who worked primarily out of Huntsville, Alabama, but also travelled throughout the South painting portraits and landscapes, was known for his style of painting, which included a sitter with “wide, staring eyes” and a photographic-like attention to detail. Frye married Catherine Stone Hale, a native of Huntsville, and spent most of his life there with her and their four children, although he also had a studio in Louisville, Kentucky. Frye’s career culminated in 1866 when he won the competition to paint a posthumous portrait of Henry Clay for the Kentucky Senate. This commission, along with a monetary award and the “Palm of Excellence” were given to Frye just before his health and eyesight began to decline in the late 1860s. John Gaillard Harvey Sr., who was born in North Carolina, moved to Greensboro, Alabama in the 1830s after graduating from West Point Academy and spending two years in the United States Army. He became the editor of the Alabama Beacon newspaper and continued that profession for over thirty years. Harvey was the second husband of Sarah Evelyn DuBose Bondurant Harvey.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Placing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale. 1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auction Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.” B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within a reasonable time from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale. C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written document signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery. D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the original buyer, and any rights of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable. E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate. F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regarding authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief. 2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the successful bidder. At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full purchase price for the said lot.

3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same. 4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item. 5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction. 6.
